I think he was saying somebody "brought back to life" an older (obsolete) version of a python class.  Maybe I misunderstood.

I'm just curious - which user space APIs are obsolete?

As to difficult, I can't see anything much easier than navigating a user 
space with a pointer.

But I can also imagine using the IFS APIs with a user space - just use 
path naming.
